Bad cops thread

"There have been some interesting new developments across the country from the world of civil asset forfeiture, the upside-down policy where police and prosecutors can seize and keep your property, often without ever charging you with a crime, and then keep the proceeds for themselves."

One reason some people don't like Glock's is that you have to pull the trigger to take down the weapon. But don't you have a bucket of sand near your cleaning station to point the muzzle at when you do that? Or at least the ground?

"A Beckville graduate was shot in Alabama by an Opelika Police officer Thursday after the man stopped on the side of the interstate because of a minor traffic accident."

"Michael's parents were not notified of the shooting until around noon the following day. "They didn't even have the decency to call and let me know one of their people had shot my son. I didn't find out about it until around lunch time Friday. An investigator calls telling me he was investigating the shooting... and that's how I was told. That wouldn't have happened in Texas. I'd have known about it within 30 minutes if it had happened in Texas.""

The undercover operation, titled " <broken link removed> ," spanned a few months and included undercover officers in three area high schools: Chaparral, Temecula Valley, and Rancho Vista Continuation. The officers posed as regular high school students and would ask other students for drugs. Twenty-two students were arrested—the majority of them are reported to be special needs students like the Snodgrass' son. Their son, who wished to remain unnamed, is noticeably handicapped and has been diagnosed with autism as well as bipolar disorder, Tourettes, and several anxiety disorders.

Over 11,000 rape kits dating back 25 years were never tested by the Detroit PD. Thankfully, recent testing of only 1600 of those kits have identified a mere one hundred serial rapists

Well, it is a hipster in Brooklyn -- so I kinda wanna root for the bad cop.

Doesn't look like a typical hipster, but then I'm not really versed in what the acceptable hipster look is.

The suspicious activity, which got them surveilled, and then raided - was shopping for hydroponics.

The follow up is how the state protects the raid information - to protect the police.
